Our Story
American Legion Gaming began as a grassroots effort by veterans who understood the power of gaming to heal, connect, and empower. What started as a small committee at a single American Legion post in California has grown into a national movement, supported by a formal nonprofit structure and guided by a mission to serve those who served.
